Issue
I just installed Eclipse on a computer and it has been working fine for the past few days. However it suddenly stopped working this morning.
When I double click a file in the File Explorer to open it, nothing happens - a new tab is opened, but the tab has no title, just a button to close the tab. The "contents" of the tab is just a light blue screen, with no text.
I have tried the following procedures, with no success:
- Right click > Open with > various Eclipse editor
- Reset perspective (I am in Java EE perspective)
- Change perspective to Java
- Opening different file formats (.java, .properties, .xml, etc)
- F3 and Ctrl-Shift-T
- Creating a new project and opening a file from there
- Restarting, cleaning workspace
When I open a different workspace, the files open as usual, but I still want to use my old workspace.
I am using Eclipse JEE Oxygen.
Solution
Doing a re-install fixed the problem.
